Abstract:
Abandoned homes, such as 212 E. Geer St. in Durham, are primarily situated in low-income, minority neighborhoods where lending banks aren’t likely to pay for upkeep. This often leads to a crime problem as squatters, prostitutes, and drug dealers use the property for illegal purposes.

In Durham, some community groups are acting to try to renovate houses and make the neighbors a safer place.
